🎯 The Third and Final Automation Station

Even with FEED placing transfers and PEEL removing backing film, one manual step still remained on the Impress line — unloading each finished garment from the pallet. PULL automates that final step. The operator no longer needs to stand at the output end of the Impress pulling shirts off pallets; PULL’s grippers do it automatically and stack the finished garments for packaging or downstream processing.

🤖 Gripper-Based Garment Removal

PULL uses mechanical grippers to remove finished garments from the Impress pallets — a method that works cleanly across t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, and other flat goods the Impress presses. The gripper design handles varied garment types without recalibration between jobs.

📚 Stacks on Platform or Conveyor

Once grabbed, the garment is stacked automatically on a platform or conveyor of your choice. If you have downstream folding/packaging automation (like the ROQ FOLD / PACK / BAG line), PULL feeds directly into it. If you just need stacked output for manual packaging, a platform works perfectly. Flexible integration with your existing production layout.

⚡ Two Variants — PULL and PULL+

ROQ PULL is the standard variant — handles up to 600 pcs/hr output from the Impress (18.3 l/min air, 6.4A electric, 126 kg). ROQ PULL+ is the higher-capacity variant (27.5 l/min air, 6.5A electric, 208 kg) built for the most demanding production environments. Both integrate with the Impress the same way; pick based on your peak throughput requirements.

👤 Completes the 1-Operator Hands-Free Workflow

The whole point of the Impress automation stack: one operator loads blank garments onto empty pallets — and nothing else. FEED places transfers, Impress presses them, PEEL removes backing film, and PULL unloads and stacks the finished garments. No manual placement. No manual peeling. No manual unloading. Industrial-scale output with single-operator labor cost.

⚠️ Requires P08C04 or P10C05 Impress

Per ROQ’s official spec, the P06C02 and P06C03 Impress configurations support a maximum of 2 attachments simultaneously — meaning you can have FEED + PEEL, FEED + PULL, or PEEL + PULL, but not all three. To run all three automation modules simultaneously, you need the P08C04 or P10C05 Impress. Plan your Impress config at purchase time based on how much automation you’ll ultimately add.

🔌 Standard Impress Integration

PULL connects to the Impress via the same standard module integration used by FEED and PEEL — powered and configured with the Impress. Once integrated, the ROQ PULL operates alongside FEED and PEEL without separate software or controllers.

🏭 Real Production Impact

On a P10C05 at 600 pcs/hr with 3 automation modules installed, a single operator manages a production output that used to require 4–6 operators on manual equipment. That’s not an incremental improvement — it’s a fundamental restructuring of DTF fulfillment labor economics. For shops scaling print-on-demand, contract decoration, or private-label fulfillment, the operator-headcount reduction is where the ROI shows up.

🔗 Pairs Naturally With ROQ FOLD / PACK / BAG

If you want to go beyond PULL, ROQ offers downstream FOLD, PACK, and BAG modules that work with PULL’s stacked output. Together they create a fully automated DTF-to-packaged-product line. Ask us about the full ROQ fulfillment ecosystem if that’s a direction you’re exploring — we can bundle quote and coordinate installation across the whole stack.

🎯 Eliminates the Last Ergonomic Pain Point

Repetitive unloading from automated presses is one of the most common sources of repetitive-strain complaints in DTF shops. Operators stand for 8–16 hour shifts reaching, grabbing, and placing garments. PULL eliminates that station entirely — your operator handles only the low-fatigue loading step, or takes over higher-value work elsewhere in the shop.
